Deeper Planting of Seedlings and Transplants Increases Plantation Survival

Heat, often confused with drought, is probably the most over looked cause of death of newly transplanted bareroot trees. just as neglected is that part of the stem most affected by heat, that is, the transition zone where stem and root meet, the stem-root junction, which is commonly referred to as the root collar. A standard of planting bareroot stock with emphasis on depth to protect part of the stem, regardless of method used, is suggested. Tree Planters' Notes 41(4):17-21; 1990.
